"As you can probably see, Lost & Found’s cover features a picture of a rollercoaster. Maybe it’s a clue as to the experience contained within, with all the ups, downs, twists and turns that naturally come with the trip.
I’ll admit when I began checking out that track listing I wondered whether it was a covers album, but no, four cover versions, seven originals, so maybe it’s the songs that are ‘lost and found’?
Back to my laboured ‘wild ride’ analogy: Lost & Found begins with the irresistibly charming strum and sad sparkle of Sabbath Still, featuring some pretty damn wry lyrics, of which a sample,
'Rock and roll was just a joke/the punchline was the saddest thing you wrote…'
Then a wild hand-break turn into… Paparazzi, (yes that one), transformed into a satisfyingly chunky sardonic take on classic Mary Chain. Who knows maybe that was its real destiny all along?"
